Dimensions of a Box A box with a square base and no top is to be made from a square piece of cardboard by cutting 4-in. squares from each corner and folding up the sides, as shown in the figure. The box is to hold 100in3. How big a piece of cardboard is needed?
Falling Object An object with negligible air resistance is dropped from the top of the Willis Tower in Chicago at a height of 1451 feet. During the first second of fall, the object falls 16 feet; during the second second, it falls 48 feet; during the third second, it falls 80 feet; during the fourth second, it falls 112 feet. Assuming this pattern continues, how many feet does the object fall in the first 7 seconds after it is dropped?

APPLICATIONS Manufacturing FurnitureA furniture factory makes wooden tables, chairs, and armoires. Each piece of furniture requires three operation: cutting the wood, assembling, and finishing. Each operation requires the number of hours given in the table. The workers in the factory can provide 300 h of cutting. 400 h or assembling, and 590 h of finishing each work week. How many tables, chairs, and armoires should he produced so that all available labor-hours are used? Or is this impossible? Table Chair Armoire Cutting h 12 1 1 Assembling h 12 112 1 Finishing h 1 112 2
Cutting up a Wire A piece of wire is bent as shown in the figure. You can see that one cut through the wire produces four pieces and two parallel cuts produce seven pieces. How many pieces will be produced by 142 parallel cuts? Write a formula for the number of pieces produced by n parallel cuts.
Geometry A circular disk of radius R is cut out of paper, as shown in figure (a). Two disks of radius 12R are cut out of paper and placed on top of the first disk, as in figure (b), and then four disks of radius 14R are placed on these two disks, as in figure (c). Assuming that this process can be repeated indefinitely, find the total area of all the disks.
